Seventy-eight images to think with
Tarot is a deck of 78 cards: 22 major arcana, which stand for big stages and archetypes, and 56 minor ones arranged in four suits that speak of everyday life. Each card condenses a scene with centuries of accumulated readings.
A spread does not "reveal" a hidden future. It proposes images about a question and lets you relate them to your situation. The value lies in the conversation that opens, not in a verdict.
Positions: the question behind each card
In a three-card spread the positions are often past, present and future, or situation, obstacle and advice. The ten-card Celtic cross unfolds the theme with more nuance. The position is the question; the card, an open answer.
Reversed cards
A card upside down is not "bad". It usually points to the same energy blocked, internalised or in excess. The reversed Tower, for instance, can speak of a change that keeps being postponed. Reading it calmly avoids the scare and recovers the meaning.

Frequently asked questions
Can I do several readings on the same question?
You can, but revisiting the same reading a few days later is usually more useful than repeating the question until the desired card appears.
Which deck do you use?
The Rider-Waite-Smith system, the most widespread and the one with the most reference literature.
